Comment Comment by andygambles Have I got this right in lay-mans terms.The client is forcibly disconnected from the WiFi network and reconnects to the attackers network instead.The attacker doesn't need to know the WPA2 password but it accepts the connection setting the encryption to zeros.The client thinks it is connected to the original wifi network and continues as normal.Wifi traffic is intercepted and unencrypted. parent andygambles 9 years ago
